The Chicago Tribune Knows Me As A “West Suburban Blogger”

Tuesday, May 10th, 2005

I was going back on some old links recently and was looking at a comment that was posted here back in March regarding an article that I was interviewed for by the local newspaper in regards to blogging/weblogs.
I found a link on Janie’s website (the commenter) that points to this blog posting from Eric Zorn [...]

I’m no Dave Navarro

Thursday, March 3rd, 2005

It’s been a very busy day between going to a zillion clients and Liz starting to experience some of the first contractions (we’re starting think a couple days hours now!). Needless to say, my mind has been all over the place.

A Milestone

Friday, February 11th, 2005

I’ve been thinking the last couple days as to how to celebrate, but just couldn’t come up with any good ideas.
The fact is that this is the 1000th post on marusin.com
Now if this were a tv show, it would be the standard “clip show” where we show highlights from the past years, best [...]

If they only knew…

Welcome to a new marusin.com

Monday, December 20th, 2004

Not that it’s a huge deal (or for that matter anywhere near finished), but I just wanted to welcome you to the new marusin.com.
Yup, you’ve seen alot of this before, but the main idea is that I’ve officially moved away from the tables and everything is now dependent on Cascading Style Sheets. Just something [...]

To all the IE users out there…

Friday, December 17th, 2004

I know the site is a little jacked up right now.. Sorry about that, playing with the CSS.
My suggestion? Please use FireFox

Lots of behind the scenes stuff going on around here…

Tuesday, December 14th, 2004

Keep your eyes open for some changes at marusin.com (and this time I’m not foolin!) :)
All I can say is that the EditCSS Extension for FireFox has allowed me to get more done within two minutes time than the hours I’ve spent in the past.
If you’re a web developer, EditCSS is a [...]
